Coschem
Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa

An active, well-established Society.

 
- Providing an opportunity for the interchange of ideas
- Organising conferences, lecture evenings and seminars
- Providing scientific education and training, culminating in the award of a Cosmetic Science Diploma to successful students.
Coschem is the abbreviated name given to the Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa. We are a professional society for scientists and other individuals in the cosmetic and allied industries. We provide an opportunity to exchange ideas of common interest and ultimately offer education and training to our individual members. Coschem also endeavours to provide light relief during the year with social functions such as the annual golf competitions, the ladies day and the year end luncheon which brings members together to share in some fun.

Based in Johannesburg, with Belinda van der Merwe as the incumbent president, the Society of Cosmetic Chemists South Africa is affiliated to the IFSCC (The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists).

Those individuals involved in the Cosmetic Industry are encouraged to join the society.

  IFSCC, a worldwide federation, is dedicated to international cooperation in cosmetic science and technology.

The number of individual members in the Federation now exceeds 15,000 and is still growing.
